Thank you for sharing this! I have tons of playing cards that we've collected as souvenirs over the years, so this would be a great way to "stash-bust"! I'm thinking Christmas gift tags...
Thank you for this video! I have several packs of these cards for playing card games and never thought of doing something like this! Now to raid the playing cards...
This is the first time I've seen your videos, it was very good, I really like how your cards came out. I also liked how you flipped the screen from one shot to the next instead of watching the entire process every second. Thank you for a great video.
Lovely cards! I’m so glad you came up on my recommended videos. I’ve subscribed. Hard to pick a favorite…I love them all! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤️
Thanks so much, Gayle! I subscribed to your channel a few years ago and love it. You have often kept me company while I crafted. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for subscribing! 💜🧡♥️🥰
If you use a little stiff stenciling brush with your ink pad you will get a little more color and it would be easier. I've even used stiff acrylic paint brushes
Very pretty! If you store the inks face down more ink will come to the top of the pad. Also, try spraying the pad with just a bit of water. It will reactivate any dry ink that’s left there.
I really like your method.I have never seen anyone decorate the back of the card.I also like that the corners were pre cut. I am new to your channel so I want to keep watching.
I love the imagine one . The colour of the paper doilie is lovely. Have made some of these before. Going to have a go again. Thanks for the video 🙂 xxx
Beautiful! My fave is the one with the girl. I've never done any of these, but now I want to. They would be very nice special gift tags for all year round. Or add some holiday elements for gift tags. Can't wait to give it a try. Very well put together video. I loved watching the "creations" as they happened. Thanks!
That shipment of cards may have been purchased in bulk from the casino. Once a deck is used, they mark it in some form, ie trimming corners or punching a hole in the middle so they are not reused. I watched ShanukiArt today and want to play with altering playing cards. I have 'a few' LOL Creative Blessings!
You might just be right about the cards, they seemed brand new, though. I'd love to see your makes. Send them to my email theartfuladdict@hotmail.com, if you feel like sharing.
That's a deck that was used in the Golden nugget casino (no idea which one). They cut the corners so you can't sneak that deck into the floor and use it to cheat. All casinos mark their used decks. I had a deck that had a tiny hole right thru the entire middle of the card. Maybe a quarter inch, straight thru lol
My favorite is the girl !! I bought a bunch of decks of these cards from the dollar tree also. A lot of the decks are mismatched with extra suits of cards so it doesn’t hurt me to to use them as ephemera Lolol. I am inspired by your video
I don't do playing cards but I do do index cards. I decorate one side and then a quote or Bible verse on the other side and I bought a little box for recipes and I put them in it so they can b flipped through. Last year I made one for every female in my family and gave them as Christmas gifts. They were a huge hit.
Your video popped up while I was watching one on junk journals and I'm glad it did! I subbed because I really like this! You did a great job they are beautiful! Look forward to going through your other videos! TYFS 🥰
THIS was a fun tutorial! I’ve never made these but I have a brand new deck of cards waiting for to do SOMETHING with 😄. Now I know…ATC!!! Thanks so much for sharing 🥰
Thank you so much I’ve watched this again, I know I’m sad!!!!! I really can’t choose they are all really really awesome and stunning too. Please stay safe and well. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thank you so much what a lovely way to alter a playing card ♠️ I really really love ❤️ all of these cards inked and non inked too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
I love your cards they're a great idea and I haven't seen one quite like it before. I'm definitely going to give it a try. Thank you I'm new to watching you
Welcome to my channel, Judie, and thank you so much, for watching and commenting. I'm thrilled to have been able to show you something new and would love to see your cards! ☺
New to your videos. My fav is "don't forget to play, but I might have inked around all edges of all papers as I'm big on inking already. Like and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos ☺♥
Love it. So fun. I'm wondering if the corners on those cards were clipped because they had already been used by the casino? That popped into my head. Could be way off base, though. Lol. I'll be watching and subscribing. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hey, that's an interesting theory! Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching. I recently moved to a rural location and am having serious internet issues that interfere with my ability to upload videos. Just know that I'm still here and will upload new content just as soon as I can figure out how!
I loved your filming. I learned so much. I don't have a favorite, and I thought I definitely would. My first time seeing the pearl drops, wow. If you can, time is valuable, I understand. Did I miss why you didn't cover the back? I'm so excited to go through your vids.
Thank you, I'm so glad you learned something new! There was no particular reason for not covering the back. I can always cover it when I'm ready to use it, but you can certainly cover it during the alteration process. 💜🧡❤
Once in a while I'll see some lift, but gluing paper to paper, if you use enough glue stick, it should last. I've since switched over to the Scotch Create Multi Purpose glue stick, and I like it even better 😉
The most common use is to put a piece of regular or coffee-dyed paper on the other side and put them in a journal as additional journaling space. Or you could paper the back and add a special quote to keep for yourself or give to someone.
You could make a group with similar colors and contents to use as trading cards to trade or give to friends. Or, put them in sleeves and keep them as a collection in a book like baseball cards.
If I end up adding it to a journal and want writing space then I'll go back and cover it with some lined, or coffee dyed paper. But, I may just leave it, as is, for interest. It boils down to not yet knowing where it will go and how I want to use it. However, you can certainly do that first. That is the glory of crafting...no rules!
*i've done literally hundreds of card collage and been a contributor to a gallery display many years ago thanks in part to the collaborations and contacts made on deviantart that included thousands from around the world...the organizer recommended that i avoid gluesticks during the assembly of collage because they were in her words "boogery" ...i use ph neutral bookbinding adhesive when i have it but i've also used other things like gorilla glue...but then my cards already look distressed so this is not really an issue of them looking pretty or pristine...i also tend to make the cards thicker by either gluing/stacking two or three cards together and placing heavy weights on them until dry...i then guild the edges with a gold paint pen...sometimes i'll even burn the edges which can add a bit more visual interest to a given piece especially if you work in a nonlineal organic abstract sort of way (dyslexic brain and left handed for many decades)...i also spend as much time on the back of the cards as i do on the front...i also employ the larger jumbo cards aw well...such as this example: **www.deviantart.com/scottman2th/art/The-Lepidopterist-202132099* * something to also consider would be crumpling the cards then sliding an ink stamp pad lightly over them then adding some more stain to the cards...i work in layers so i'ts not unusual for a given card to have several layers of inks and stains alone before other images are placed over them then sealed/preserved... i've also used large floor puzzle pieces which can be a lot of fun if used as a group collaboration or one where you randomly do the collage on the pieces over time then assemble them once finished*
@@TheArtfulAddict *you're very welcome... another idea to consider would be to make junk journals (with themes) by using multi media paper and doing your own bookbinding projects...i also keep a look out for old magazines or discarded bits with unusual textures or shapes on them...i have accordion files filled with images so i can quickly assemble an overall idea then set it aside for later...i also have a pretty extensive collection of fountain pen inks that can be utilized for background washes in various tonal combinations...after watching the first few minutes of your video i went out and bought several decks of the cards you used from one of the local dollar tree stores that is less than two miles from the house so i'll be prepping them for my next series of cards or have them ready to use on a moments notice when inspiration strikes me...also check at local comic book stores...ask them for any damaged comics that cannot be sold or the preview magazines they are about to throw away...some really good art to be found there...something else you might find helpful would to be start stockpiling scrapbooking collection books from places like hobby lobby especially when on sale...don't use then right away but save them till you have a nice stack of them maybe six or ten...then find a local stationary or printing shop that has an industrial cutter that does small custom work and then have them cut them to the 2.5 X 3.5 size you need...also have them save the trimmings...they'll be small but you can always use them for gift tags later...i've done this a few times already in the past and i'm still using what was cut years ago...you also have an advantage in this because you can combine different shades and textures more easily...i tear them up and burn the edges than reassemble them...the results are very cool and very difficult to replicate any other way...might want to use some complementary watercolor or ink washes on the back of these bits before gluing them down...this is more for adding a bit of interest later on as the cards are nicked and dinged over time...very subtle yes, and few would ever really notice but when someone does (eventually) it will be a nice nod to your attention to detail...i've also found some good quality collage element collections on wish...might take a while for them to arrive but i've been happy with the sets i've gotten*
I've put a few journals together, Christmas, etc. I thought the shape of those cards were pretty cool. When I opened them up, the cut off edges were a pleasant surprise! Thank your for sharing such great information!
